Hancock Baseball Advances to Super Regionals

Bulldogs play Orange Coast on May 9.

MAY 5, 2014 -- Bulldog baseball is back in the Super Regionals. The Allan Hancock
College baseball team won twice last Saturday to upset Palomar, the No.4 seed in the
Southern California Regional Playoffs, to advance into the second round for the first
time since 2010. The Bulldogs took the best-of-three-game series 2-1 to upset the
Comets, who were also ranked No.19 in a national poll.

Hancock next travels to the top overall seed, Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa,
for a best-of-three-game series that opens Friday, May 9, at 2 p.m. Orange Coast
enters 29-9 overall and riding a 10-game winning streak. The Bulldogs are 24-14-1.

The two teams will meet in the postseason for the second time in the last four years.
The Pirates eliminated the Bulldogs from the postseason in the first round in 2011.

Hancock is one of four Western State Conference-North Division teams in the Super
Regionals. Oxnard, Santa Barbara and L.A. Pierce are also among the eight teams remaining
in the SoCal Regional.

Game two of the series with Orange Coast will start at 1 p.m. on Saturday, May 10,
with a third game, if needed, to take place on Sunday.
